Fans have been really chomping at the bit lately for news on Rockstar Games' upcomingGrand Theft Auto 6, even when there are few bits available to cling to. The latest spread of rumors comes from aRockstar Games employee’ssocial media, where fans have begun speculating on what appears to be a seemingly cryptic image.
This specific post comes from Rockstar Games' Soundtrack Manager/Music Supervisor Tony Mesones, who shared a picture from a recent trip that has sparked the new onrush of theorizing among fans. Some players believe that the picture itself, having tagged Rockstar Games could be hinting at the location forGrand Theft Auto 6’s upcoming setting.

The picture itself appears to be of South Beach Miami and is accompanied by the question, “Who said it would be cold???” in pink text, which some fans have quickly began to associate withGrand Theft Auto Vice City. As a result, fans are quickly gathering around the idea thatGTA 6will take place inVice City, a fictionalized version of the real-life city of Miami, Florida. Having Mesones tag Rockstar in the post as well is the final nail in the coffin for players who believe that the upcoming sequel will likely be taking place in Vice City.
Not all fans are fully convinced, however, as it seems both too random to be a real tease of the upcoming title’s location, as well as too closely guarded of a secret to be slipped out through a higher up’s social media post. While the @rockstargames tag might be the biggest draw for some players, this still wouldn’t confirm that the next location is going to be thelocation forGTA 6. Some fans have instead suggested that another spin-off title like the originalVice City, or DLC forGTA Onlinecould be in the works instead, with the next title likely moving on to a completely new setting.
Looking at these types of innocuous posts through the lens of theory is a common internet past-time, with fans obsessively pouring over any strand of evidence they can get their hands on to confirm things are moving one way or another. However, without an official announcement from Rockstar Games, fans might want to temper their expectations for where they expectGTA 6to take place. The stream ofleaks from Rockstar Games aboutGTA 6seems never-ending at this point, and it might be best for fans to hang in for a long wait before any of this information is officially confirmed or denied by the developer.
Grand Theft Auto 6is currently in development at Rockstar Games.
